Solution

The correct option is E Negative or Positive
Particle is moving in a circular path so it is experiencing a magnetic force , which means it is a charged particle because a neutral particle doesn't experience a force in magnetic field but the direction of motion of particle is not given in the figure therefore it may be a negative or positive particle .
